The 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) was constituted by the Government of India to review and recommend changes to the salary structure of central government employees. Many state governments have adopted similar pay structures for their employees.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the 7th Pay Commission formula:

\[ \text{New Basic Pay} = (\text{Pay in Pay Band} + \text{Grade Pay}) \times 2.57 \] \[ \text{Total Salary} = \text{New Basic Pay} + \text{DA} + \text{HRA} + \text{Transport Allowance} + \text{Other Allowances} \]

Pay in Pay Band — Current basic pay in the pay band (₹)
Grade Pay — Current grade pay (₹)
2.57 — Multiplication factor for pay revision
DA — Dearness Allowance (% of New Basic Pay)
HRA — House Rent Allowance (% based on city class)
Transport Allowance — Fixed amount based on pay level
